Even though Hippocrates said, Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food, 2500 years ago, “modern” medicine has been slow to acknowledge the relationship between what you eat and what diseases you get.
Talk about ignoring one of the most basic of the universal laws: Cause & Effect.
Every cause has an effect; every effect has a cause.
Finally, after decades of research and study, the “experts” agree bad food and good food grown in bad soil (or with sin-thetic means) affect our health.
People, this is not rocket science; this is common sense.
Put sugar in your gas tank and your motor gunks up and your car doesn’t run.
Author Barry Sears, PhD. wrote, Food is far more important than just something you eat for pleasure or to appease your hunger. Rather it is a potent drug that you’ll take at least three times a day for the rest of your life. When food is broken down in to its basic components (glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids) and sent into the bloodstream, it has a more powerful impact on your body and your health than any drug your doctor could ever prescribe.
I’m not going to tell what you what to eat and what not to eat (well maybe a little bit). Use your common sense, not mine, but consider the 80/20 Rule.
Eat mostly what’s good for you and very little of what’s not.
The Pareto Principle, commonly called the 80/20 rule, was named after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto who noted in 1906 that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the people. It is now commonly used in business/time management (80% of work is done by 20% of the people) but it certainly applies to what you eat as well.
Most effects (diseases) have a small number of causes (bad food).
Try, 80% real/20% processed; 80% alkaline/20% acidic, etc.
We may find in the long fun that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine gun. George Orwell (1903-1950)
